Wisdom Eye

[Guest guest]

The company of peaceful Sages (Satsangha) and living in harmlessness is

considered the primary influence that leads to Self-Realization. The forced

attempts to discard various habits and conditioning and practicing different

techniques to calm the mind have built in limits, unless one is already

inclined towards such practices. If strong inner motivation is present, one

is automatically propelled towards Self-Awareness and Meditation. The fog of

confusion then quickly evaporates and leads to Self-Seeing, Self-Being,

Self-Realization, and the Silence of the Heart.

 

Meditation and mind calming methods, etc., can be effective at many

different levels if practiced in the context of a clear understanding. Such

practices, however, cannot by themselves end the fundamental agitation of

the mind which continues at more and more subtle levels and causes

suffering. The nature of the mind is to hanker after that which is not real

and is constantly subject to change. Not knowing who we are, where we come

from, and where we are going, we still continue chasing after dreams built

on the sandcastles of desires. If we become aware of this, we can see the

fundamental nature of suffering, and direct our attention to the mystery of

life and the nature of our perceptions.

 

A True Guru knows no Time and Space. The Self Reveals It Self from Within.

Listen. Remain aware. Be utterly indifferent to the clever words, miracles,

and magical techniques that promise salvation. If you have the courage, open

your wisdom eye and see clearly what attracts you to such things and people.

What is it that they have to give you that you do not have? Question

seriously and honestly and go to the root of your hopes and fears. There are

many active marketers of "wisdom." Understand that, like you, they have

their own challenges and suffering. With compassion for them and for others

and one's own self, one should keep one's vision utterly, totally, and

completely pure. It means that you should not give in to the attraction of

confusion and compromise in seeking the Truth.

 

Do not settle for anything! Do not settle for anything - until there is

nothing left to settle for.

 

Let your effort be absorbed in peaceful Self-awareness. There is absolutely

nothing else to be done.

 

 

 

Nothing given,

 

nothing taken.

 

See the sights,

 

be not mistaken.

 

You have everything you need.

 

Think not that you must awaken,

 

now or later for heaven's sake.

 

Know only this for certain,

 

That You Are Already Wide Awake!

 

 

Love to all

All paths go somewhere. No path goes nowhere. Paths, places, sights,

perceptions, and indeed all experiences arise from and exist in and subside

back into the Space of Awareness. Like waves rising are not different than

the ocean, all things arising from Awareness are of the nature of Awareness.

Awareness does not come and go but is always Present. It is Home. Home is

where the Heart Is. Jnanis know the Heart to be the Finality of Eternal

Being. A true devotee relishes in the Truth of Self-Knowledge, spontaneously

arising from within into It Self. Welcome all to a.
